    Yes sir, 16" spring, 3.0" ID (inner diameter), 700lb spring rate.

    I bought my entire kit from Downsouth Motorsports. According to Downsouth Motorsports, Fox won't outfit their coilover with a different coil than the one they sell/spec (600lb) it with. Pissed me off because I essentially paid for two brand new sets of coils, only to remove one immediately. I don't know if it was dsm taking advantage of me as a customer or a shitty policy of Fox's but I have a brand new set of 16" 600lb coils in my garage that I knew wouldn't work with my truck.

    As im helping Avid with these TC sales I have learned that only Fox and King make the coilovers for the +2 kit and King is the only one that will put 700s on by request which is not stocked on the shelf at TC. Fortunately for Nick and Brian the order went in 24 hours before TC closed for the holiday week.
    So 650s (if made in 16",would need to be purchased separately as well as 700s for Fox)

    Not entirely true, @AaronArf has Icons on his +2 Race kit. Pretty sure any 8"coilover will work as long as you run limit straps and set your bumpstops correctly.

    I've been told by a few different places (DSM and SDHQ) that our kings are specifically made for the TC +2 kit. Not sure how true it is

    I was told the same thing about Fox and King when I ordered mine Last year. I'm sure there's some truth to it.

    I like to put the bolt back in after removing whatever part.

    But I've also torn down two entire cars and put them back together without missing bolts :D

    It's not so much that but when switching bolts out for different ones, come to find out you need to originals back. Haha lost my small brackets for my rigid light bar since I switched to the long ones, need the short ones back and can't find them :frusty:

    It was our best option unfortunately, but only an hour out of the way so it could have been much worse

    True and if i remember right you can take highway 12 (think thats the one) and meet back up with 90 like 4 hours away. saves having to back track an hour
